Abstract

Na3SiSe4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six Se+1.75- atoms to form distorted NaSe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaSe6 octahedra, corners with four SiSe4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent NaSe5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four NaSe6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one SiSe4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaSe5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 12°. There are a spread of Na–Se bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.47 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six Se+1.75- atoms to form distorted NaSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaSe6 octahedra, corners with four SiSe4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent NaSe5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with three NaSe6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one SiSe4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaSe5 trigonal bipyramid.
